What structure for the Special Jurisdiction for Peace?

The Colombian high courts have had strong offices for each magistrate while the institution in itself is relatively weak. The JEP should not copy this model because given its large size, the risks of incoherence and lack of coordination would increase.

There are topics that are boring, technical and entangled, but which we must pay attention to because they have an enormous impact. This happens with a problem that the members of the JEP must resolve in the coming days: How to organize this jurisdiction, and in particular, what should be the relationship between the offices of the judges and the JEP as an institution?
